The long-term SAAO survey of Local Group galaxies in the near-infrared (JHKs) has included five dwarf irregulars (dIrr), namely, NGC 6822, IC 1613, WLM, Sgr dIG and NGC 3109. We have found long-period (Mira) variables in all of them. Most of the Miras, which follow a linear LMC period-luminosity (PL) relation well, are carbon-rich. A small group of oxygen-rich Miras are brighter than the linear PL relation predicts, presumably because they are undergoing hot-bottom burning (HBB).
